[Articles] Exenatide once a week versus placebo as a potential disease-modifying treatment for people with Parkinson's disease in the UK: a phase 3, multicentre, double-blind, parallel-group, randomised, placebo-controlled trial

Our findings suggest that exenatide is safe and well tolerated. We found no evidence to support exenatide as a disease-modifying treatment for people with Parkinson's disease. Studies with agents that show better target engagement or in specific subgroups of patients are needed to establish whether there is any support for the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists for Parkinson's disease.
